Is this from BR CBT 4? There were 2 questions in that passage so maybe you mixed them up? The first question asked about molar solubility and the answer is definitely KI. The answer was correct on my test. The second question was which has a higher boiling point. They supply a graph which shows that KNO3 has a higher boiling point.
Although for the second question, if there was no graph, I could have picked KI because of its higher MW...
